Aims and scope

CCF Transactions on High Performance Computing (CCF THPC) is dedicated to publishing rigorously peer-reviewed, high-quality articles covering all aspects of supercomputing and high performance computing (HPC). Bringing together insights on, innovations in and implementations of HPC, the journal serves as an academic publication and communication platform and welcomes contributions from researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners. The journal publishes original research and review articles on all aspects of high performance computing from design, service, and theory, to its practical use and applications. In addition, it addresses interdisciplinary topics like operating systems, networking and software engineering.

This journal is published on behalf of the China Computer Federation (CCF) and is supported by the CCF technical committee on High Performance Computing, and CCF technical committee on Computer Architectures and Information Storage Technology.
